Having an amazing day motivation wise
was in town (Cork) with my mom today and, in penneys, I actually managed to come out of the fitting rooms with a whole outfit that fit comfortably and looked good! (never happens) on top of that, my mom act told me the new jeans made me look really slim, coming from her that means alot!
To top it all off, I was feeling all mastercheffy so I made my parents and myself a delish (if I do say so myself) chicken and veg stir fry, I'll post the recipe if anyone wants it, soo filling for only 9 pp for a whole plate (which even my dad couldn't finish :O)
Sitting in front of the fire watching the real masterchef now, really chuffed with myself

even in the last 2 or 3 days if being good...they are already slightly more comfortable...less bloating!
I was a size 18 for the most part of my late teens until I was 21 and then after that I didn't realise I was getting bigger and bigger, I just kept buying the next size up, complaining that all shops are making their sizes small, it was just me that was getting fatter. When I had to buy a size 24 jeans, I think that was a lightbulb moment. Luckily back down to a size 18. Oh and I also noticed, when I got back from honeymoon (gained 6lb), my jeans definitely started feeling tighter. Not feeling normal yet but once I lose the rest of that gain (lost 3.5lb of it so far), should be back to normal Onwards and downwards

Having a terrible weekend foodwise. Me and the OH stayed in my grans last night and she made (full fat) spaghetti bolognase and (normal) garlic bread. Then apple strudel and icecream for dessert along with 2 and a half glasses of wine!!! And I had already used nearly all my weeklies on drinks and crisps on friday night
Then this morning, it was toast and full fat jam and butter for breakfast and then we went to my mum's and had homemade scones AND cheese on toast!!!! AND (yes it gets worse), I was so hungry by the time we got home this evening and there was no food in the house, so we got McDonalds Praying for a STS this week!!!! 0 -

I totally agree I remember when I was in America two years ago for the summer I bought clothes and cut the tags off them so i wouldn't have to notice i was gone up in size.. and just kept buying the clothes bigger instead of dealing with the problem, i'm in such a good place now its the perfect time for this weight loss journey i'v begun. last Monday i drank and ate bout 90 points and only gained 0.5lb so hopefully with a few activity points you can stay the same! 0 -

Thanks. I ordered the Davina power of 3 and 30 minute workout boxset. Gonna give that one a try. One of my friends did it during the summer and lost a stone just doing that. She wasn't on a diet or anything. I'm hoping it will get me going for that stone loss by Christmas! I hate walking in the rain so I plan on doing the workout for the winter!!
I have this box set too. It's good because you can either do a full hour on it or if you don't have a lot of time you can pick one of the sections and just do 20 mins
Had a good weekend foodwise. Did a load of cooking on Saturday so have lovely carrot and coriander soup for lunch this week And also made an Italian Beef Stew and a Shepard's pie. Having Tuscan Bean Soup for dinner tonight Was a bit bold yesterday. Went out on Saturday night, didn't drink, but did eat two spring rolls on the way home 
And didn't go to my step class on Friday night but I was just so tired I actually couldn't move. Hopefully it won't have done too much damage 0 -

If you think you can be strict with yourself, then you could skip it. But that could be a bit risky. I know it doesn't work for me. There was a week I was bold and I skipped WI, saying to myself I would be extra good. That went completely out the window and I kept telling myself "ah sure, WI is not til next week, I can have X." I had gained 2.5lb when I went back to WI. So I would recommend going to your WI and then starting afresh, but if you really think it would demotivate you too much and you can be really strict with yourself, it might give you a boost.

Can anyone please recommend a low PP (1 or 2PP) yoghurt that has NO BITS? I hate bits in yoghurts, like really hate them, I just spend ages picking them out. I am getting really sick of the WW yoghurts and I am also sick of paying €2.25 for 4 yoghurts and they are NEVER on special offer So if anyone can please recommend a smooth low PP yoghurt, even if it is the same price, i'll take it for a change.

I agree. If you've put on you've put on whether you know it or not. But if you do know then you've more control over dealing with it. And you might be pleasantly surprised...0 -

I feel robbed of a point
Yeah that is right, 2PP per slice but 2 slices is 5PP, 3 slices is 7PP.0 -
